[quote=Anonymous]Smith graduate here. I loved Smith and am still friends with my Smith housemates after 35 years. At the time I felt more comfortable participating in class at Smith than I did in my public high school and felt there were opportunities for women that didn't exist in coeducational colleges and universities at the time. However, I felt unprepared to compete with men upon graduation. I was so used to the Smith experience that it was difficult learning to compete with men in the work world. I do not think there's as much a place for single-sex education now, and I wouldn't have been too enthusiastic about my daughter applying to a women's college but it turned out she wasn't at all interested anyway. Although I'm sure that a quality academic education is available, I think gender segregation is ultimately harmful. [/quote]
